Chapter 2: The Queen's Ceremony
Lorna sat indoors, brushing her long hair and picking up the blade of her sword, trying to practice her skills.
But in my mind, I kept replaying the red-faced scene just now, and I couldn't hold my hands steady.
In the end, she gave up, gritted her teeth and said, "Just do this kind of thing in my house, don't close the door yet!" You bastard, sure enough, the previous coldness was all pretended! ”
After saying that, he lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
Originally, I wanted to consult that guy about psychological problems, but now that I think about it, it's really terrifying, and I may be toyed with and applauded by him when I go in.
Lorna rolled over irritably, remembering what Herrin had said to herself, and for a moment her mood became even more depressed.
If you have no faith and no direction, can you really go on in the coming apocalypse?
She needed someone to ferry her lost soul, but that man was a jerk.
The mobile phone on the table rang, and the girl grabbed it impatiently: "Hey? ”
The voice of the old butler Wen Tun came from inside: "Miss, Her Majesty's celebration is about to begin...... You and he are going. ”
"......," Lorna was silent for a moment, "I see." ”
She hung up the phone, got up from the bed, and went out with an unhappy face: "I really don't want to give you this bastard to the bottom, if it weren't for my father, I'll kick you out now." ”
......
Su Ling sat on the sofa with some uneasiness, looking at the eldest lady in front of him with an indifferent face.
It's not because the intimacy was seen, but because I'm afraid that Hanako's strange identity will be discovered.
However, it was obvious that Luo Na's attention was all on aerobic exercise, and she didn't care about the others, and just said lightly at the moment: "What about your lover?" ”
Su Ling naturally let the mercury sand hide them all, and in the future, they can't swagger out and hang out, continue to carry out the task, and stare at themselves more and more.
So he could only say embarrassedly: "Go, go." ”
"Oh," the maiden didn't seem to care, "she's beautiful, which young lady of the family?" ”
I said that it was from the weird family, do you believe it, Su Ling diverted the topic: "This, it's still inconvenient to say ......"
"Well," Lorna didn't dwell on it, "I respect your right to choose a mate, but I want you to close the door when you do it." ”
Su Ling smiled awkwardly and didn't answer.
"Without further ado," Lorna got to the point, snapping out an invitation and placing it on the table, "you'll have to go with me to accept the reward this Queen's Centennial Festival." ”
Su Ling frowned: "I'm not interested in fame and fortune, and I haven't done anything yet, so forget it." ”
Lorna stared at him, "Do you know why the Empire doesn't act against you?" ”
Su Ling was shocked in his heart, guessed, and asked tentatively, "Because I'm in the Lancelot family?" ”
"Almost," Lorna snapped her fingers, "even if the Grand Knight Captain protects you, then the Holy City doesn't care about you, but the Queen still has the right to rule, and the reason why I don't move you is because of my father." ”
The look in her eyes was both proud and lonely when she mentioned her father: "My father is a hero of mankind, and the queen must promise to protect our family, as long as you don't rebel, any sin can be mitigated or even forgiven, and your external identity is my father's righteous son." ”
"How did I not know I had an extra dad?" Su Ling was dumbfounded.
Lorna gave him a blank look: "Otherwise, how can you explain your identity and origin?" I and Uncle Heinill are in charge of this matter, you don't know about it, and I didn't want you to get involved in the family's affairs at the time, just to avoid trouble. ”
"Okay," Su Ling accepted the fact that he liked to mention his father-in-law, "which means that I am also a member of your family?" ”
Lorna did not deny it: "To be exact, the second heir." ”
She suddenly smiled: "One day I die in battle, everything in the Lancelot family will be handed over to you, although you are and stinky and like to make some little secrets, but you can still be trusted at critical moments, I have no brothers and sisters, and none of the other family members can stand up, it is better to give it to you, so as to continue the glory of the Lancelot family." ”
Don't set up a flag, girl, it's dangerous.
Su Ling saw that she was absent-minded, and comforted: "No, if you want to die, I will definitely die first." ”
Lorna looked at him deeply: "You're not afraid of death?" ”
Su Ling spread his hand: "Those who are bent on survival will die, since the end is approaching, no one can stay out of the matter, only life and death are out of the way, let it go." ”
"What is the motivation that keeps you going?" The girl didn't give up, as if she didn't give up without asking why.
Su Ling was stunned, what is it?
He smiled: "Probably for those simple and beautiful warmth, such as a smile, a hug." ”
He thought about Mia, and it was these girls who were regarded as monsters by humans that had regained his faith in humanity.
"That's good...... Lorna squatted on her knees, like a little girl listening to a guitar, "that's good, but it's a pity I haven't encountered anything like that." ”
"Sooner or later, one day," Su Ling comforted casually, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, people's collapse comes more from themselves than from the outside world." ”
The girl looked at him strangely, and after looking at it for a long time, Su Ling was a little embarrassed: "What's wrong?" ”
"I believe you're a psychiatrist now," she smiled slightly, "Well, poker face, you've changed a lot lately, and you've finally taken off your cold disguise?" What did you have fun about? ”
It's no wonder that he and the four girls are tired and can still have a cold face, Su Ling complained, he had a lot of fun on vacation, and when he left the place where life and death crises were everywhere in Calkosha, the tense nerves naturally relaxed.
"I live here very comfortably, but it is much more comfortable than in the abyss, of course, I don't treat people coldly, the environment always shapes people."
"Maybe," Lorna shrugged and stood up, "well, without further ado, come with me." ”
She turned and pushed the door open, the midsummer sun shining on her, and her red hair flew like a flame:
"Let me show you, the kings of this world."
"Princes, ......" Su Ling muttered, remembering that in that strange dream, the yellow-robed nobles called themselves "the new king".
He laughed, got up and followed, "Then let me meet them." ”
......
Palace of the Golden Dawn.
There are a lot of people, and all eyes are on it.
The white-haired queen is still elegant and calm, and under her kind smile is not angry and arrogant.
This old man has lived through world wars and strange transformations, leading the empire to this day.
It is possible to underestimate anyone, but absolutely no one dares to underestimate this Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.
She sat on the highest seat of the throne, and under the fortress was a crowd of people gathered to admire the queen's appearance.
Su Ling sat in the VIP seat and saw it clearly.
Those people are not ordinary people, they are actually aristocrats.
The queen and the empire gave the nobles the right to continue to wield power, and in this apocalypse, the royal family regained its former majesty.
Regardless of the Royal Praetorian Guard, the Four Knights, and even the Grand Knight Captain Julius, they are all from the Empire...... Although the relationship between the two is somewhat complicated.
Su Ling withdrew his gaze from the queen and looked at the seats around him.
The queen is surrounded by kings from all over the world, and two of them have a particularly extraordinary aura, vaguely sitting on an equal footing and standing on three legs.
One of the queens, dressed in Arabian desert service, sexy and cool, with healthy wheat skin, is definitely a beauty regardless of status.
Peculiarly, the queen had a pair of fluffy cat ears on her head, which trembled slightly.
At this moment, she was lying on the jasper throne, lazily eating the grapes handed by the servant, and she didn't even want to open her eyes to look around, a little embarrassed by the eternal sun.
The Queen's face is very young, and there is a sense of youth and vigor.
Lorna explained for him, "That's the Queen of the Desert Empire, Zeta, Her Highness Meneth...... She is the most recent to take the throne, but don't underestimate her, in terms of means, she is the most ruthless. ”
Desert Empire...... Su Ling was a little curious: "Why are her ears ......?"
"Shh Lorna hurriedly covered his mouth, "His Highness Menes hates it the most. ”
A cold sweat remained on Su Ling's forehead, and the desert queen had already cast her gaze.
Her eyes were turquoise, as clear as amber, like a piece of jade.
With a desert-style dress, it is quite a bit of Cleopatra, especially the cat ears on the top of the head, which are cute and charming.
But that gaze was extremely cold, with an incomparable royal majesty.
Su Ling lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
This queen is really young and vigorous, and she can't tolerate criticism from others, so it's better not to fight.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" The maid beside Menes asked.
The Desert Queen retracted her gaze, "It's nothing, I just heard criticism again...... Hmph, if it weren't for Elizabeth's face. ”
The two kings of the three empires were women, and Su Ling couldn't help but wonder about the last one.
The last one was dressed in a Japanese-style kimono, wearing a hairpin tied at eight feet, wearing a jade hook at his waist, and his face was covered with tulle, like a goddess holy and ethereal.
"The queen of the sacred cherry blossoms, Himiko......" Lorna whispered, "the most mysterious one, who suddenly ascended to the throne after the strange came, and is rumored to possess the power of the ancient myth of the moon princess Kaguyahime, but she has a good temper and does not get angry easily. ”
The kings of the three empires gathered, and Su Ling didn't even have the heart to look at the other seats.
The three queens have their own aura, Elizabeth is old and serious, Menes is iron-blooded, and Himiko is otherworldly......
The kings fought against each other, and Su Ling understood that this grand ceremony was actually a meeting between empires.
It is clear that no one is on top.
The other two queens also gave Elizabeth face, and the seat was slightly lower than the Dawn Throne.
The pomp and circumstance continued, and the battle of the queens for momentum left no one caring.
Elizabeth ended her lengthy farewell and continued with a smile: "Then people, let's move on to the canonization and give supreme glory to those warriors who have sacrificed their lives for the Empire. ”
The crowd cheered, many of them wishing to see their loved ones become glorious knights or new nobles.
"First of all, Viscount Charlotte, who made a great contribution in cleaning the forbidden area and sealed the ......"
A man walks up the red-carpeted royal aisle with his head held high, strides calmly in the golden palace, kneels down on one knee, kisses the hand, reads the royal vows, and accepts the queen's canonization.
"Next is ......"
The sealing ceremony continued, and Su Ling looked drowsy.
After seeing the queens of the three empires, he had no interest, no matter how the crowd cheered, he couldn't keep his spirits up, he just wanted to go back and sleep with Mia in his arms.
According to Lorna, she is just going through the motions anyway.
"Next up is Lona, the head of the Knights of the Dawn of Fire and the eldest daughter of House Lancelot, who will inherit her father's glory and crown the Empire!"
Suddenly there was a voice on the stage, and Su Ling finally cheered up and wanted to see how the eldest lady would be sealed.
The girl stood up from his side and stepped forward calmly.
She wore a grand dress today, her red hair was tied into a smart double ponytail, and she looked as elegant and calm as a duchess.
It's just that Su Ling knows that she is not calm, because Lorna's fingers have been pinched and turned white.
For her, who pursues glory, it is extremely important to accept the queen's crown, inherit her father's will, and continue the glory of the family.
All eyes were on her, with affection, admiration and blessings, to see how the daughter of the famous general would behave.
Su Ling was also ready to take a look, but after Lorna stood up, she didn't move for a long time, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Sure enough, the chick first gave a knightly salute to the queen, and then pointed at Su Ling:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but my father has an heir besides me, and I think he should share the glory with me, for he is the one who bears my father's will."
